Xiphiphilia (3.5e Flaw)

From D&D Wiki

This page is of questionable balance. Reason: Needs to be adapted so that it does not involve a Will save, and if possible change the enforced character behaviour into player choice.

You can help D&D Wiki by better balancing the mechanics of this page. When the mechanics have been changed so that this template is no longer applicable please remove this template.

This page was proposed for deletion on 03:54, 27 November 2016 (MST) because: Just a poor design throughout. Vague trigger, high Will reduces impact, walking into a weapon shop might be fun the first time but will quickly become tiring for the gaming group. The whole thing would be better handled through roleplaying. (discuss).

Effect: The character is fascinated by large sword-like blades. (Player should choose three). When encountering such a weapon for the first time, the character must succeed at a Will save DC 15 or become fascinated by the weapon for 1d4 rounds. If the weapon is for sale, then the character will do their best to purchase it. If he cannot afford it he will attempt to negotiate a lower price or offer trade. If the weapon is being wielded by an enemy, then the player fixates on that opponent exclusively, ignoring all other combatants until the opponent dies or the player is able to take the weapon in question.
